That sounds very weird, but...

I've did it, too. And... --- it goes smooth, now!
After that, I've tested it with switching 'burst transfer' from '2222/3333' to
'3333/4444' (read/write) in the BIOS and it runs.
But with this settings our 'basic' speed is more slowly (under win95, sorry
but with Q2:-), so is there another way?
I'm thinking about, because my system runs quite well for one and a half year,
now.
My last 'stable' kernel was 2.1.89 and 2.1.96 (as I remember right).
